Do we get extra marks for a whole box of tiny books? 📦

Ours may not be quite as small, but we do have a good selection of tiny modern languages books as part of our special collections! 📚

And for bonus points, we're pretty sure that the 'T' at the start of the shelfmarks stands for 'Tiny'!
A picture of a small book, with a red, leather front cover. The book is held in someone's hand for scale, and is shown to be the same length as across their four fingers. Behind the book, you can see the top edges of two columns of books, of a similar small size, which are in a white cardboard box. At the centre of the photo there is a small orange book, with black and white swirls on the cover. The title is partially obscured with a white label, which shows the shelfmark of the book 'T.PG9447.C3.A4.C5'. It is being held, and is small enough to be held just in the holders fingers. Behind the book is a white cardboard box, with two columns of small books inside. The books are shelved upright, so we can only see the tops of their textblocks. In the centre of the photo is the same white cardboard box containing two columns of small books, that are arranged so the tops of their text blocks are pointing upwards, and towards the camera. At the top of the photo is a small orange book, with white and black swirls. It is sat on top of one of the books in the left hand column, and is leaning again the lid of the box, which is sat vertically.
